Demented and Deranged

Summary:

Clare Edwards is an inmate at a Women's Correctional Facility in Toronto. She has caught the eye of a raven haired, new jail guard, Eli Goldsworthy. Little does Eli know is that tiny, blue eyed Clare Edwards is in jail for murder and attempted murder. Clare has a mission in life, not to impress the cute jail guard or to kill, but to make a difference and make a statement.

It's been about two months since Clare and Eli started talking. They really hit it of, they would have their own banters with each other and leave sarcastic remarks. They were pass that awkward stage, where they didn't have anything to talk about. Now, when both Eli and Clare walk into the interaction room, they have loads of stories to tell.

Clare's birthday was in twelve days and she was less than excited about it. Who would be excited spending their birthday in jail? Certainly not her. Eli -being the sneaky booger that he is- had a special surprise for her.

It was tuesday, which meant that it wasn't interaction room day. Clare and Eli would briefly see each other, but that was it. She had free day that day and wanted to write a letter to her mom and Alli. She truly missed them.

She hasn't seen or talked to the both of them in months. Even before she got into jail, she didn't get to see her mom. Her mom was probably the parent she looked up to. Even thought she was more uptight than her father was, she loved her with all off her heart.

Helen was a strong, independent woman, and that is what Clare loved the most. After the divorce, Helen took matters into her own hands. Once Randall Edwards remarried, she bought a condo in Stratford and continued her job working in the office.

Clare stayed with her mom once in a while, but not often. But, when Clare did visit her mom, she usually stayed for a long period of time.

Clare was in her jail cell, pen and two pieces of paper in hand. She was sitting at the small desk that was inside. Bianca was in the yard with the other guards, just lounging around. Clare stared at the paper and decided to write to her mom first.

Dear Mom,

Hey, it's been a while since we last talked. How's everything? I heard Darce came back from Kenya. How is she? I really miss her. Don't worry, I miss you too! Gosh, look at me, writing a letter from jail. Who would have thought I would end up in jail…Did you go to Brooke and Amy's funeral? Ha, maybe I was a little harsh for killing them…Oh well, It's too late, they're already dead. So, me and Bianca were talking the other day about how, when she and Alli slept over your house with me and you took us to wonderland and you got a sunburn so bad that whenever we laid one finger gently on your back, we left a print! Aha, I remember Alli always having the urge to touch your arm, or draw hearts on your back! Oh! and when we had to put cold cream on for you, Bianca kept drawing her name and you kept on laughing, telling her 'it tickles'. Haha good times mom, good times. I promise the minute I get out of this hell whole, I will be at your house at the snap of fingers. Only two more years to go, and I am out and back with you! So, I wanted to tell you about someone. His name is Eli, and he's a guard here. He's my partner for the interaction room. Every other day, I meet up with him in there for three hours, just so we can interact and vent stuff. I guess he's like my Dr. Phil or Oprah or something. So, yeah, he has dark black hair these really amazing green eyes and he's really good looking. We get along really well, but that's it for now I guess. So as you already know, my birthday is in twelve days! *wink wink* A simple happy birthday letter would make my birthday less suck-y. Could you send a picture of you and Darcy in the next letter? Since i'm gonna be here a while I might as well get a visual aid! So, yeah, i'm gonna end it here, because if I don't, I will most likely write a novel… Talk to you later! Bye mom! Tell Darcy I said Hi!

Love Always, Clare

Clare smiled and grabbed the envelop and sealed it with a kiss. She put that on the side and started on Alli's letter.

Dear Alli,

Alli, my dearest Alli. haha I miss your ass! How's everything? So, a little birdie told me that you and Owen got together ;D. Wanna know who that little birdie is? Bee! Her ass is in jail too! aha she's my jail mate. I swear, she's a pain in the ass, but I love her. Anywhoo, I need details! Why didn't you tell me you and Owen are dating? Was it recent? Was it a while? Because if it was, I am so pissed off… Having Bianca as a jail mate is so much fun! It's like old times! The only thing missing is you! Maybe you should get in jail so we all can be in jail together! So, I have something to tell you. I met someone, his name is Eli. He's really really really cute! He has black long hair and his eyes are freaking gorgeous! Alli, I swear, if you saw them, you would fall to your knees. Can you guess what color they are? They're green Alli, fucking dark green! Just imagine it in your head. Medium built, long black side swept hair, white skin, GREEN EYES, and he's tall! Well not that tall, but way taller than us! Whoo! It's getting hot in here ;D well yeah, he actually works here. He's a guard and he's my partner for the interaction room. It's this place where I can talk alone with him every other day for three hours for an entire year! Can you believe that? Well I should probably end this… Hopefully you write back? Oh! and send some pictures too! I'm gonna be here for a while and if I need a little push I can look at my loved ones! So, yeah! Talk to you later Alli! I love and miss you!

Love Always, Clare

Clare put the other letter into the other envelope and sealed it with a kiss also. Eli was in Clare's hall and decided to stop and give her a visit. Eli walked to Clare's cell and saw that she had two letters. He walked to the gate and said with a smile, "Hey Edwards."

Eli smiled through the bars and Clare turned around and stood up and walked to him. "Hey Goldsworthy. What are you doing here?"

Eli feigned hurt by putting his hand to his chest. "Hey Eli! How's it going? Did you get a hair cut? Oh you didn't? Just admiring how amazingly good looking you look today. Oh geez Clare, stop! Your'e making me blush." Clare gave him a confused look and said, "Uhm, hi?"

Eli dropped his head and said, "Come on Clare! Get with the program!" Eli looked up and saw Clare's uniform up close. He scoffed, "Nice uniform."

Clare wore her black vans, a wife beater and khaki bermuda shorts. Clare groaned and sat on Bianca's bed. "Don't remind me! I know I look horrible! But there is no way in hell am I going to wear that fucking orange jump suit!"

Eli turned his head to the side and looked at Clare. He didn't think she looked horrible. She actually looked pretty cute. "Clare, you don't look horrible. I think you look good."

Clare looked up and gave him an unconvinced look, "Really?" Eli nodded and said, "Yeah. I've seen worst. Trust me you look nothing compared to the girls two floors below us." Clare giggled and stood up and walked to him, making them face each other with only the bars in there way.

"Well, even with your convincing words. I don't feel so hot in these clothes." Clare gestured towards her attire and Eli laughed. "Don't worry that pretty little head of yours. You look fine, and besides you have no one to impress here. Besides, you don't need to impress me." Eli dusted off his shoulder and smiled smugly at the floor.

Clare grinned and crossed her arms, "Oh really? And, where exactly did you get the idea, that I want to impress you?" Eli stepped back and sarcastically said, "Ouch! Great way to bring down my ego!"

Clare laughed and said, "Oh please, your Ego is so big, I hardly made a dent." Eli waved his hand at her and shook his head.

"Enough about my ego. Which is not that big, by the way." Eli leaned forward and gave her a sly smile. "But, I can tell you what is big though…" Eli wiggled his eyebrows and Clare gagged. "Ugh! T-M-I!"

Eli laughed and said, "You love it." Clare rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, alright Casanova. Enough talk about your 'Big' dick. But, can you please open these gates so you can walk me to the mail room?"

Eli nodded and opened the gate. He gestured her to walk. She nodded and started walking beside him. The walk started off with a comfortable silence. Until Clare let out a loud belch.

Eli was stunned and looked at her with amazement. A blush crept up to her face, making her cheeks turn into a light pink. Clare said, "Excuse me." she giggled and looked up at him shyly.

Eli started clapping in amusement. "I applaud you, Clare." Clare's blush turned from a light pink to a dark red. Clare bit her lip and watched as Eli laughed.

"Wow! I didn't know a loud burp could generate from a petite girl like yourself." Clare let her arms open up and shrugged, "That's not the loudest burp I have ever done." Eli looked at her in astonishment. He wouldn't think that she would ever burp. No, it wasn't a burp, it was more of a loud belch mixed with the sound of the crust of two continents crushing together.

Eli smiled and looked forward. He felt a little elated at the fact that Clare was comfortable enough to burp in front of him. Almost every other girl in the world would have to think twice about burping in front of a guy, but Clare just let it happen.

That's how their friendship works. They do stuff without thinking, but don't regret it. They say something stupid, but end up glad that they had said it. It was confusing, but that was how they were.

"Hey! It's your birthday in twelve days!" Eli poked her sides and she giggled. He smiled and looked straight ahed.

"Yeah." Clare frowned and gave a disappointed look.

Eli scrunched his eyebrows together and said, "Why so sad butterfly?"

Clare gave a tiny smile and said, "I'm spending my twentieth birthday in jail and without my mom and Alli."

Eli put his arm around her and squeezed her tiny shoulders. "Hey. It's okay! your birthday is on a monday, which means you get to spend it with moi! You should be excited" Clare looked up at him and dully said, "Excitement consumes me, Eli."

Eli squeezed her tighter with his left arm. "Admit it! Admit, that your'e excited about your birthday!" Eli started to tickle Clare's waist, and she giggled. Eli knew Clare's waist was her weakness spot when it came to being tickled.

Clare laughed and tried to push him away, but his tickles took all her energy and she didn't have the strength to push him away enough. He tightened his arm around her once again. "Never! aha Never!"

Eli brought his hand up to her neck and started to tickle her. Clare put her hands up in surrender. "Okay! Okay! I…giggle… am excited for my birthday!" Tears were falling onto Clare's tinted cheeks and her abdomen started to tighten.

They both didn't notice that Eli had pushed her up against a wall and his arms were circled around her waist. His free hand was around her neck and their faces, were incredibly close. Clare looked into his eyes and smirked. Eli smirked and stared also.

A ball hit against a window, above their heads. That brought them back to reality. Eli let go of Clare and pursed his lips together, trying to hide a smirk that was about to come upon his face. Clare smiled with her lips and started walking to the mail room where she would drop off her to letters to the most important people in the world.

At Fiona's condo

"So Fi, you work in the office. That means you have connection to the inmates files right?" Eli continued to eat his noodles from his chinese takeout.

Eli, Adam, Zane, and Riley were at Fiona's condo eating chinese take out after work. They all agreed to go to Fiona's condo to just hang out and relax.

Fiona's condo was an extravagant condo in Toronto. She lived on the 29th floor and she lived alone. Her condo had white brick walls and most of the walls that weren't bricks, were painted a sleek black color. Her whole apartment was color coordinated. Her living room was all black, white, and silver. The three other bedrooms were a purple and white color, blue and white color, and a green and white color.

Her living room had a flat screen, couches that were worth more than Eli's apartment, antique snow globes from all the different places she has been to, pictures of her family, and a crystal chandelier. It was kind of odd that Fiona bout a condo with four bedrooms and she lived alone. But, it did have enough room to fill all five of them.

Everyone was off tomorrow because of something going on at the jail. So, they all agreed to sleep over. They were currently watching a movie and eating.

"Uhm, yeah. I can actually get to their files from my laptop. Why?" Fiona smiled lightly at him. She knew very well that he wanted to look up Clare.

"Oh, I just you know, was wondering." He kept his eyes set on his chinese take out. Zane smiled bumped elbows with Riley.

Riley smiled, knowing very well at the situation. Riley decided he wanted to tease the answer out of Eli. "So, Eli, How is your partner for the interaction room?"

Eli looked up and a faint blush came creeped onto his pale cheeks. Fiona and Adam exchanged goofy smiles and waited for Eli to respond. Eli cleared his throat and said, "Oh, Clare? Uh, she's good. Nice, funny. You know good."

Zane rolled his eyes and looked at Fiona and Adam who still had those goofy grins plastered onto their face. Riley raised an eyebrow and said, "Uh huh. Only good? From what i've heard from Adam, Clare Edwards is beautiful. From Fiona, breath taking. From Zane, she could be my twin sister. All you have to say about her is that she is nice and funny and good? You hang out with her every other day for three hours. Come on man, give me some details!"

Eli put his food down and played with his thumb ring. "You want full detail? I''ll give you full detail. This girl, confuses the fuck out of me! She's the most sweetest thing ever and is tiny as a fucking gerbil! She shows the most interest in things that I didn't even know could catch her attention. I don't understand how her 105lb 5'2 self could kill two girls and mentally damage her step mom."

"Even if she is known as Toronto's criminal of the year, I don't care. She just catches my eye and I just can't fully grasp her. Like, one moment, I think I know everything about her, then the next moment I wonder who the hell is she? Little things about her, pull me in more and more." Eli smiled and stared off into space.

"She has these eyes. Not just some regular pretty blue eyes, but eyes that just make me go into a frenzy. They hold this look of hatred and innocence and mystery and love all at the same time. Her scent is probably the most intoxicating thing ever! It's like this mixture of cinnamon and vanilla and a sweet smell. And her voice, it's nice and sweet and the perfect pitch. Whenever she uses mild vulgar language, it seems like it shouldn't be coming out of her mouth." Eli looked up at his friends and softly said, " I have a lot more things to say, but I don't fully know her. But, I plan to know everything about her."

Eli looked up and his eyes immediately landed on Fiona. Fiona had her hand on her heart and she had this 'Aww that is so sweet' look and 'I think i'm going to cry' look. Adam was looking at Fiona with a bewildered look, while Zane and Riley had there jaws open.

Zane couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had never before, hear a guy talk so highly about a girl. He was so used to other guys saying the normals stuff. Like, Oh she's hot, or damn, i'd tap that. His heart swelled and he felt like he had raised Eli into young man, then quickly came to realization that Cece Goldsworthy did that since the day he was born and that he was probably like that since the day he met him.

Zane smiled and said, "Hey Fi! Show Riley what Clare looks like!" Fiona ran to her room to retrieve her laptop. She came back and sat down next to Riley, while everyone except Eli crowded around her. Fiona typer furiously until she found Clare Edwards files. She made them swear that the things they were about to see, stays in the condo. Everyone waited anxiously waited until Clare's Picture showed up.

Her first picture was a picture of her class picture from grade twelve. Her hair was still short and curly, she wore a blue polo that all grade twelve wore to school, she even had a yellow head band on. Her make up was very light and enhanced her features. Her blue eyes were bright and a dark shade. Riley whistled and said, "Damn Eli, you lucky bastard! That girl is beautiful!"

Zane muttered, "She's not that pretty." Everyone laughed and Riley gave him a reassuring kiss. "Don't you worry your little head off, I don't like girls. But, I do have to say, this girl could pass as my twin!"

Fiona clicked the next picture and another picture loaded of a full body picture of Clare. She had on black flats, a short, dark grey floral dress with purple accents, and to top it off a smile that shined through the darkest times.

Fiona sighed and said, "If every girl looked liked Clare Edwards, I swear there wouldn't be any guy in this damn world complaining. Every guy would be satisfied."

Without thinking Eli said, "If every girl looked like her, than she wouldn't be special anymore. There wouldn't be anything special that I could point out on her and she wouldn't be different or stand out. But of course, personality comes first…"

Everyone whipped their heads towards Eli without a single blink. They all had a look of astonishment on their faces.

"Eliiii! That was soo adorable." Fiona said loudly. Her eyebrows were pushed up and she had a look of awe. She smiled and said, "Eli, whomever you marry in the future, is going to be one luck girl."

Eli smiled and said, "Thanks Fi. Hey, Fiona? Can you look up Clare's contact info?" Fiona nodded and looked for all of the file with all of her contacts.

Fiona looked up and asked, "Who's number do you need?" Eli smiled and simply said,

"Helen Edwards and Alliah Bhandari"
